The Montessori
School of Rome was founded in 1981 by Swarna Kumar. It was established
to bring to the children of Rome and the surrounding community
the opportunity to learn following the Montessori Method of
education, a method first pioneered by Maria Montessori in 1907.
Maria Montessori was Italys first female physician but,
after her groundbreaking work in education, she became internationally
known as an educator and child advocate. She based her educational
method on careful observation of children and the environment
under which they learned best. Her observations and philosophies,
based on the principle of fitting a childs learning environment
to the childs developmental stage, are as true today as
they were almost 100 years ago, and years of research and practice
have validated their importance. (Click the
